eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Flaxseed meal is a great egg substitute for binding.

Mix 3 cups of maida flour and salt in a bowl.

Rub oil into the flour until it's evenly mixed and a bit lumpy.

Add water gradually, kneading until a soft dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a few drops of water; if too wet, add a bit more flour.

Knead until the dough is smooth and soft, then let it rest for about 1 hour, covered with a plate or plastic wrap.

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.

Flatten each ball slightly to make rolling easier.

Dust the surface with flour and roll out each ball into a thin circle, turning it as you go to maintain an even shape.
